Wow, what a great sense of community!…read more I highly recommend stopping by the Spenard Farmer's Market, the earlier the better. The feel isn't that of "kitschy touristy keepsakes", as the downtown market often is. These are all local businesses run by locals. In addition to lots of fresh produce, there are also lots of hip new businesses serving up great eats. And they have live music. They've also got "kiddie tables" for the little ones. Some of the businesses I've seen here include: Dipper Donuts: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dipper-donuts-anchorage Pikiniki: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pikiniki-anchorage Spenard Windmill: https://www.yelp.com/biz/spenard-windmill-anchorage?osq=windmill

This market has thinned out a lot since my visit 13 years ago. Today when we went (a Sunday in…read moreJune), there was one total strip of retail and food vendors combined. The rest of the lot was amusement park rides. There was a booth to dress up and take photos with Alaskan huskies, ulu knives, handmade candles, fur, photography, jewelry, and my favorite: Christmas ornaments made of Alaskan clay. I had to get one and start my travel Christmas tree ornament collection. Paid parking across the street and they were actively ticketing!

Decent little market, but there really were not that many vendors as I was expecting. Only one row,…read morewith a majority of them having food. The carnival rides took up a majority of the parking lot, which limited how many vendors could possibly be there. With it only open a few months, I would expect more vendors to be out when the weather is nice. I honestly was pretty disappointed in how little they offered. There were a few decent stands, but the prices seemed to be pretty high compared to what was being offered and seemed to be more geared towards tourists rather than folks living in the area.

Not a huge market this early in the growing season, but each stall was run by delightful people and…read morewe walked away with some of the best tasting tomatoes EVER. The music by the Traveling Fleas was also so much fun!

Although this is a small farmer's market, all you need are a few stalls with excellent stuff & you have a simple salad, a delightful dessert or a versatile vegetable fricassee. There's stalls with fine flowers, healthful honey, a parade of pickled items like garlic & other pickled delicacies, marvelous mushrooms, various vegetables & flavorful fruits. Most take credit card. I learned about pink as wells as lion's mane mushrooms. And I know that $2 for a bunch of orange beets with vitamin filled beet greens to boot is a showstopper. Don't even get me started on $3 giant leeks. I could eat just those with toast points. While it may not be for you, nobody gets more excited or fanatical about a festive farmer's market.

It has vendors who…read moresell flowers, wild honey bee products, many various vegetables and all are freshly picked and tasty! The prices are reasonable and supports local farmers. It's also perfect to stop here midweek (Wednesday's only) if you end up missing the Saturday market like I will. The Northway mall farmers market is another one that is open on Wednesdays which is also worth a shot. I am a sucker for fresh produce and Alaska vegetables are to die for. The day long sunlight up here in the north creates some of the sweetest carrots and crisp vegetables of all climates I've experienced. You must try a farmers market and their carrots if you're here in the summer.

It was a great help to have while my disabled husband was needing more and more attention. Now, 3 years later and their produce is still THE BEST. Better even than my favorite grocery store.

You can choose the size of box, what goes into your box, and even choose how frequently the box is delivered. What could be better?

And the convenience of fresh produce coming to your door every week can't be beat, I've even added local milk deliveries (though I wish I could automatically have it come each week without having to add it each time). I get the harvest box which is perfect for my family of four. My amazing 7 year old daughter decided to become a vegetarian June 2012, since she has gone meatless the rest of the family only eats meat a couple times a week (I could probably give it up but my husband never could) so we go through a lot of produce. I also enjoy that the produce is so varied. There are so many things I've never tried and I love receiving items I wouldn't regularly buy because then I get to try new things. For example, I never buy any squash besides pumpkin and I've bee having fun preparing a variety of squash recipes. Also, I had never heard of Rainbow Chard before getting these deliveries and it is the most beautiful green and I love making Rainbow Chard Alfredo, sooooo good! My experience with Full circle deliveries has been awesome! Though I do think they could replace the box with reusable totes. I get milk in a cool pack I have to return each week, I wouldn't mind doing the same with totes.
